Patrol Boat, Riverine, or PBR, is the United States Navy designation for a small, rigid-hull patrol boat used in the Vietnam War from March 1966 to late 1971.

They were deployed in a force that grew to 250 boats, the most common craft in the River Patrol Force, Task Force 116, and was used to stop and search river traffic in areas such as the Mekong Delta, Rung Sat Special Zone, Saigon River, and in I Corps, in the area assigned to Task Force Clearwater, in an attempt to disrupt arms transports. In this role, they often became involved in firefighting with enemy soldiers on boats and on shore, were used to insert and extract Navy SEAL teams, and were employed by the United States Army's 458th Transportation Company, known as the 458th Sea Tigers.
